If you try to connect Reolink cameras/NVRs via Reolink Client from a remote network, but get the “connection failed” prompt, please check if you can connect the camera via Reolink App locally first.
1. If you failed to connect the camera locally via Reolink App, please refer toLogin Failed when Accessing Reolink IP Cameras in LAN
2. If you could connect the camera via Reolink app locally, but failed remotely, please refer to the below instructions to troubleshoot:
- If you use the UID mode to connect the camera, please refer to Connection Failed when Log in Remotely via UID
- If you use the IP mode to connect the camera, please make sure that you are using the WAN IP address and you have forwarded ports for the camera
- If you use the DDNS mode to connect the camera, please refer to Fail to Connect Reolink Camera/NVR Remotely with DDNS
Note: Reolink battery-powered cameras could only be connected with the UID.

- Make sure that you choose the same Register Mode as Reolink App.
- Check whether your computer has been connected to Internet successfully.
- Check if the computer’s firewall has been configured properly. If you haven’t set the VPN, please also close the VPN on your computer. Refer toHow to Allow Reolink Client Pass Through the Firewall on your PC
